I'm very independent and driven. I like the feeling I get after
working a long, hard week then earning a fun time on the weekend.
Sometimes I like to get lazy and sleep til noon too.

It takes me time to really warm up and trust someone, but when I do
you'll have a friend for life.

Also, I find myself going back and forth between high adrenaline
things like hockey, rock climbing, paintball, snowboarding and just
quietly sitting and reflecting on a beach somewhere. Take from that
what you will.

I also suffer from the horrible affliction of saying precisely what
I think....often whether I should or not

History. It's a small passion of mine and I legitimately believe a
solid understanding of it can help you to lead a fuller, richer
life. So I watch many documentaries on both actual history as well
as modern issues, because that is just the history we are making,
right?

I like helping people with their problems, whether that means
introducing them to someone who can help them, giving advice, or
just listening. I've been fortunate enough to have great people
there for me in my times of need so I always am ready to pay it
forward to someone else. I can be relied on to be there.

I'm also really good at being a mean, dickhead defenceman in
hockey, which I play at least once a week.

People seem to think I'm brooding/in my own world sometimes because
I start to just stare off into space. I'm just thinking about work
and life and stuff. Once invited into a conversation I can be very
engaged/engaging.

Musically I'm all over the map and can find songs from most genres
that I enjoy. Lately I've been liking the Heavy and The Black Keys
but I also like older stuff like Zepplin, Allman bros, etc.
Generally I don't seem to like top 40.

I watch many documentaries. Historical documentaries are amazing
because I feel that you can't really know where you are unless you
know where you've come from. It really alters your perspective on
modern events when you can examine them in the historical context.
How you react to events that happen every day changes when you can
realize it is but a dot on humanity's timeline. I also think it
gives me a more positive outlook on the future of humanity when you
see how far we have all come. You should be proud of
yourself!

Of course I watch more entertainment oriented stuff too, Simpsons
(season 3 to 11 or so , of course) Top Gear, and even some nerdy
stuff like Star Trek (I don't know why that's hard to admit)
